The Dairy, Waddesdon Manor is a truly beautiful and unique venue. You have exclusive access to a substantially sized site with many beautiful photo opportunities as well as places for you and your guests to explore. Our guests all commented on how amazing the venue was- many saying it was the best they had ever been to. As well as the venue looking beautiful, the food produced on site is a very high standard and absolutely delicious. The staff within the venue were all so professional, helpful and lovely; a credit to Waddesdon. The events manager; Hollie, built up a great relationship with us and kept us calm and happy throughout our experience of planning the wedding and the day itself. We are so thrilled with how the day went and are just gutted we don’t have an excuse to return to the Dairy, we cannot speak more highly of the venue!

From our first viewing everyone at the Dairy was really down to earth and friendly which was a really nice surprise as the venue is so beautiful I had a pre-conception they might be a bit snooty or stuck up, I was definitely wrong.

From our first viewing everyone at the Dairy was really down to earth and friendly which was a really nice surprise as the venue is so beautiful I had a pre-conception they might be a bit snooty or stuck up, I was definitely wrong. Both Sophie and Holly were excellent wedding co-ordinators throughout the process answering all of our questions and explaining how everything would work on the day as well as how everything was priced with Sophie being an exceptionally calming presence on the day itself making you feel that everything was going to plan (and if it wasn’t I was none the wiser!). We chose to go with our own suppliers as opposed to recommended ones for some elements and they were just as helpful and polite with these teams as they were with their own normal suppliers. The venue itself is absolutely stunning – we had our ceremony in the big conservatory room and it was lovely. Food during the meal was excellent as was the service. The drinks reception was out on the lake and luckily it wasn’t too chilly heading into late October so everyone got to enjoy the leaves changing colour on the trees whilst they had drinks. Lots of people commented on what a beautiful spot it was. Overall it was a fantastic day made possible by the staff’s friendliness and professionalism every step of the way – so happy with our choice and wish we could do it all over again!

Where do I begin? From the first day of viewing the dairy as a potential venue, the service has been friendly, professional and very personal in every way. We were guided through every step of the process before we commited to everything. Once we had decided to go for the venue we were assigned our wedding co ordinator who was Hollie. I cannot fault Hollie, she has been fabulous from the start. Any queries or questions I have had she has answered straight away and never left me feeling unsure about anything even right up until the day of the wedding. When it came to the actual day everything ran seamlessly due to hollies knowledge and experience. The venue is absolutely stunning and the amount of compliments we have had about the food there has been amazing! The bonus was being able to have photographs taken at the main house, which makes the most breathtaking backdrop. It was the best and most perfect day we could have asked for. Thank you to Hollie and the team!
